I have found that nothing in these posts helped my searching for a solution. After many hours of google did i find my answer. The forum search leaves much to be desired as i was unable to find my answer using it.

ok i can figure out with 'uname' that its:
1.) puppy linux
2.) kernel version

but is it... woof? lucid? quirky? wary? what the?
mine might be a "lupu.." flavor; as that was the save file offered name....

is there some catalog of these distros? and their respective devXXX.sfs's

or a console command that will specify this is info?

or even a list of the most common distro-info commands...

'there sure are a LOT of 'puppies' out there'

after reading 85+ pages of any given topic, subject, search results, etc. from the forum to discover that it really does not apply to; or work with, the the version concerned gets kinda frustrating..

btw:
the wellminded.com search is about the only one of the above listed that comes even close to whatever i was looking for......(insert u2 music here)

abtw:
please don't waste your time or mine discussing the finite points of grammar, or punctuation. when you could be attempting to solve any given problem...as my professor used to say if you don't know, don't answer, ...don't freaking guess! (she used much stronger words)

I’m using Lucid Puppy version 5.1.1, (released Sep 2010 ) and trying to use the Puppy Linux Discussion Forum Search tool to find exact wording or phrases. I have tried with these quotation marks ( ‘ ’ ) and with these ( “ ” ) but they don’t seem to work.

I’ve searched for the trick in other places of the forum but haven’t found it either.
